Hello friends,
Facebook is now conquering the world for social networking. People
all over the world are busy in chatting and loved to get connected through Facebook. But you really believe that Facebookin’ is best through mobile
phones? Have you felt slow down of processing of your mobile phone?
Yes, it’s true and revealed from survey that Facebookin’
through Android mobiles phones are dangerous. It has high risk of infection as
Android is little open then other operating system like Blackberry or iPhone. These
operating systems are bit secure for Facebook or such.
The survey has done by Bit Defender. Its study shows that Facebook has became a
growing attack vector for Smartphone malware , Sophos Senior Technology
Consultant Graham Cluley has also agreed with it too. Cluley said that “Android
is more open to infections” during a visit to the offices of IDG Enterprise,
home of CSO.
Malwar is sent through Facebook as spam messages. Cluley also said that "Spam is certainly here to
stay, however the motivations and the methods are continuing to change in order
to reap the greatest rewards for the spammers".
Read what BitDefender has to say:
BitDefender pointed to Google statistics revealing almost a
quarter of Facebook users falling for a recent scam on the social network from
their mobile device. The URL that was studied was one that claimed to show
users a girl's Facebook status which got her expelled from school. It generated
28,672 clicks -- 24 percent of which originated from mobile platforms. Users
who clicked on the link -- whether on their PC or mobile device -- downloaded a
Facebook worm and fall victim to an adword-based money grabbing scheme.
